Hydraulic clutch (part 2), w/ pics for Ginter & y'all Options

[airsix]

Had lots of requests for pictures of the hydraulic clutch conversion, so here you go.
Things that have changed since the last episode:
1) re-did the slave mount. Got rid of the stupid pulley bracket and did it right.
2) MC install was a major PITA. Had to cut a chunk out of the pan and make a mounting surface that was flat and angled in the right direction.
3) I found that there is not enough room up next to the steering rack to cut a line and re-flare it after you have discovered that you slipped the flare-nut on backwards before plumbing all the lines (ARRRRGGG!!!!). That's ok, I did a better job the second time anyway.
4) Rebuilt pedal box while I was in there (Had the bronze bushing kit laying around). Thanks Lawrenece for your comments about this last week. I almost skipped it and saved it for another time. Glad I rebuilt it. Big difference.
Ok, here's the pics. (No pic from inside the car 'cuz you can't see anything with the pedal box in the way)

Good work Ben,

Can you attach a pressure bleeder to the MC or the slave?
Do you think you'd need to?


hmmmm, add a few electronics and you could have a paddle shifting transmission (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

my wife test drove the new M3 which has the Sequential Manual Transimission.....thought it was great and asked why Porsche does not offer something similar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
(RUF did for a few years, but not many sold for the 10k price tag)
